Take Me To The River

Pyramid Arena

Epic bust out in Memphis, the home of Al Green. Sorry, Talking Heads did not write the song. Firm believer this was the best run in 1995.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Another great acoustic version from 1970. Alot of heady stuff from these shows.

Its kind of a chill slowed version. Doesn't make it any less heady, though. Just different.

Sleuth....extremely well stated! It was a small piece of magic that happened that night...that was extremely rare in the post-Bruce era. I just think this version deserves its place in GD history and I am glad it al least ranked as the best Dew of the 90's...cause honestly I have not heard one from the 90's that crescendos like this one. FYI...the O1 is really amazing for this era too.

Didn't anyone get Dave's picks 10 with bonus disc??? This Thelma shit is good and there so few votes for both nights.

Epic Wheel out of the Raven space. Best show of Spring 82 and every tune needs more up-vote.
